ED dated Jeri Manthey? Yuck. How could he stoop so low? LOL. That would have been quite a pair to see. I bet she didn't take any guff from him.

Yes Yes by all means let Dustin and Amber volunteer to go up next to Dick. That would be the best senario.

Yes, Brenda but I would reverse that statement, lol. Don't think it was for too long and she left him allegedly because of his farting, etc. ha ha! Kind of surprising because she is only about 7 years younger than he is, so according to his standards she already passed her peak.

Compared to this crew, I think I'd rather see Jerri in there!

If Jessica goes thru with her plan to use Dustin as a pawn, it will be another example of bad game play this season. Dustin is a 100% guaranteed vote for Dick or Dani to leave, using him as a pawn is lame brain by any standards ,whether you hate Dustin or not you have to admit its just a stupid move.


This is the point in the game that Eric's knowledge of the public perception would come in handy if he is smart enough to use it. He knows people loved Nick via the banner ergo there is some love out there for Dani and possibly Dick. He should use that pea brain of his and protect the people that kept him in the house.


I think that Jen is the only player in there using any kind of real strategy.

Lame moves like that make me hate players more than anything. I love the drama and the excitement of a close vote but for crying out loud don't kill your side with flashy moves that could back fire.

I agree, Caprica. Eric tried to talk her out of it. The only excuse is if she is secretly working with Jen and the others.

As a long time TVCH BB fan but TV only, no feeds, I have a question. Do the men of the BB house - Eric and Dustin and Zach, etc. - ever try to defend the women against Evel Dick when he attacks them? I just can't imagine a guy sitting by and letting someone attack his friends without trying to stand up for them. Are they all too intimidated to try, or have I missed it?

There may have been the occasional isolated moment but not many that I can recall. In fact some of them (Nick and Eric) have joined in the attacks. Of course, none of the women have come to each other's defense either that I can recall.

None of these people have behaved very well in the game. I'd mention Jessica as the only one that I can think of but even Jessica has silently participated or laughed at some nasty bashing (though she is a shining light of goodness compared to most of the others IMO).

I don't think that the men or the women (who are not being directly attacked) are intimidated by Dick. For various reasons (mostly self interest) they did not want to confront him.

Marcellus(sp) was on Reality Remix last week and he felt that this was the weakest cast ever.He said he had seen bullies before but someone has ALWAYS comes to the victims aide until this year.

Ironically, Marcellas is a prime example of why it may be a mistake to come to someone's aid.

Gerry bought himself nothing but trouble by vetoing Marcellas. It is very likely that had Gerry not vetoed him, Marcellas would have left the first week and would only have been a sorry blip on the BB scene, never to be heard of again.

Gerry vetoed him because he thought Marcellas was being treated unfairly. However, he was resented by all - including Marcellas. True it's partly because of how he did it but jumping in where you don't have to is rarely a good strategy in BB.

From Big Sister, above...

I just can't imagine a guy sitting by and letting someone attack his friends without trying to stand up for them. Are they all too intimidated to try, or have I missed it?

Hell, even when we men on the board try to defend the women and talk about how Dick is an abuser, vile and hateful, someone we cannot and do not respect, we are castigated for not understanding that this is only Dick's strategy, that we don't know what he is like outside of the house, that he is not as bad as others, that he is just being honest and being himself, that it's the victims fault because they have not found ways to not be abused.

There are far too many who excuse his actions, which gives him the pass to do it over and over and over again, not matter the consequences.

But then, this is probably why we have so many abusive men in our society. There is always someone who will find excuses for them.

Looks like a duck, walks like a duck, quacks like a duck. Yep, Dick is definitely a duck both inside and outside the house. I like what the Good Book says about avoiding 'even' the appearance of evil.

As a woman, What, I too am shocked that more women like than men on this board like Dick. Boggles the mind. I'm very proud of the men on this board.

I think Jameka is on the right track. Pretend that he is not even there..I don't hear you, I don't see you, you are not even in my world..
(thank goodness Evel is not in my personal life)

I remember the articles and statements about the BB theme for this year. What was leaked was not the Alice in Wonderland but the theme was "bullies".

I believe that BB cast these HG's with this in mind. Its almost as if the HG's were given a character to portray and ran with it.

I blame BB not the HG's on stopping this. Evel Dick is way scarier than any other basher in BB history.

BB is setting their show up to be a Jerry Springer spin off in my opinion.

Well, a lot of people were up in arms feeling that BB "pressured" the HGs into ultimately keeping Eric last week. If Jessica changes her nominations now so that both Dick and Daniele stay now this week, then I do believe it gives further credence to the fact that BB is indeed having a major hand in orchestrating the show this year. I'm sure BB always has in many respects, but I guess for the fun of watching it every year I didn't really want to believe that. LOL (or maybe I'm becoming more cynical as the show's been on for a number of years now. HGs seem to be playing "roles" of sorts. Maybe that's due strictly to production...or maybe that's partially the HGs trying to "create" a role by having watched BB in the past.

Bbonthego, he has said that he will veto Daniele and leave himself on the block.
